In Behalf OF the Indian.

During the past five years a number
OF gentlemen and ladies in the east
have held conferences from time to time
to discuss ways and means for tho
amelioration of the condition of the In
dians. Some of the most prominent OF
these philanthropic people are Quakers.
The lading spirit in the movement has
been MIR. Albert X. Smiley, who has
twice entertained conferences of 100
and $50 in his own parlors at Lake
Mohonk. Senator Dawes say that the
Indian bill which bears his name was
the outgrotwh Of these conferences. AT
the last of these conferences two weeks
ago a platform was adopted of which
the following is condensation:
l. The passage of the Dawes Law
closes the Century of Dishonor, offers to
the Indian the first condition of ciyiliza-
ton, proffers the protection of law,
and opens the door of citizenship. On
the passage of this law, and the cheer
fitness with which its execution has been
entered upon, the people, our Congress,
and the executive department of our
government are to be congratulated.
?. For the protection of the
Indians in the interim of
passing from savage conditions to
citizenship, new legislation will be re-
CURED
3. To make good citizens, secular
education is not enough; religious ed
ucation must be added. The new era
therefore imposes new and grave duties
upon the churches.
4. In this work religious societies
should cooperate. Their representa-
tives should meet and arrange to cover
the field and prevent friction and waste.
5. The principles Of religious liberty
are violated if the work Of instruction
carried on by religious societies on the
reservations is interfered with. There
is no danger of too many schools and
great danger of too few. Benevolent
bodies should be allowed freely to carry
on the work of intructions in their own
way on the reservation without any in
reference or dictaton.
G.. The United States should use the
trust funds in its hands, belonging to
the Indians, freely for their good. The
Government should multiply its schools
and teachers Immediately. The ex-
igency is pressing and the perils of de-
lay great.
Z. Toprepare the Indian for citizen
ship he needs the English language.
This should be made in the government
schools at the earliest possible period
the sole medium of instruction, and in
missionary schools the English should
be brought to a foremost place as fast
as the requirements of proper religious
instruction will permit.
s. 1t is essential that the principles
Of civil service reform be applied to the
Indian Department

Not a single criminal case was tried at
their fall term of the circuit court in
Iowa county. The criminal calendar
for our own county at this present term
has twenty-three cases noticed for trial.
That number probably equals all the
criminal eases in the rest of the circuit
This does not mean that Grant county
is wckeder than all the other counties
combined but that criminals here are
oftener apprehended. We have had
very enterprising sherlfs. If criminal
gets away into some other state and
Grant county sheriff hears where he is
he gets a requisition and brings him
back. That is his duty. Whether some
Of our sheriffs have done their duty bet
ter than they ought or not is question.
There are, perhaps, cases where it is
better to let man who has ''gone
astray' alone particularly if he seems to
be trying to do better There might be
more chance Of his reformation than in
the penisentiary,and it would be cheaper
for the county,

tensively in his practice, as many of
his patients, now living and restored to
health by the use of this invaluable
medicine, can amply testify. He al

REMOVING STUMPS.
A Farmers DiscOuraging Experimen

voice.

A Farmers DiscOuraging Experiments
with Saltpeter and COaI-OL
Let me answer the question about
saltpeter for removing stumps. Hav-
ing two large chestnut stumps in a
field. put my trust in the statement
that so completely went the rounds of
the agricultural press, and started to
the field with an auger. L bored four
teen holes in one big stump at different
depths, some seven, eight, nine and
even twelve inches; plugged in the
saltpeter, and in the following spring
1 set them on fire, but they would not
burn. l read in one paper that after
removing the plug in the spring coal
oil should be poured into the holes, and
then the stump would be consumed in
a few minutes. The coal-oil wagon
had Just been at the house that day,
and filled the five-gallOn can with the
best headlight oil, and to be certain in
my experiment, carried the whole five
gallons to the field, and poured into
those holes till every drop was out of
the can. l was confident now that
should see no more of that stump. As
soon as the match was applied, up
went the blaze, scared the horses in
the pillow team, roared like Niagara,
and when the oil was consumed had
simply blackened the stumps, and left
them hard and dry. and no more
burned than the shade of the lamp by
which am writing this experience is
affected by the oil within it.
Not to be defeated, had the can re-
filed and tried five gallons more with
the same success as before. This is
what 1 know about holes and saltpeter
for removing stumps.-J. d. DIETRICH, in
COu1lt1-u Gentleman.

eff there had been any thing of much
value in it." Mr.. Forrest observed,
watching Tad closely, 1.-the owner
would have been likely to have adver-
tised in the city papers"
eyes," returned Tad, "but then we
shouldn't be any the wiser for that,
down here in Bixport, for about the
only city papers that come here are the
C0ngregdtiondliSt and the NeaO England
Farmer"
''By George!" said Mr.. Forrest, with
gay laugh, ''my curiosity is consider
ably excited by that mysterious sachel.
Look here, Tadr' he continued, with
an extravagant display of teeth, ''I'm
one of the queerest fellows you ever
saw, and I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you n new clean ten-dollar bill for
the bag without seeing it-unknown
contents and all; what do you say?"
Couldn't think of it, sir!" Tad re-
piled, quietly.
Fifteen? Well" he continued, gay
1y. as Tad shook his head resolutely,
''what a0iH you take? TwentyP Twenty
five?'
w Hys IL ISL nllIlo TO sell, Sir, was
the same grave reply, and Mr.. Forrest
muttered something under his mus
tache in reference to 'an obstinate
young fool" which Tad did not quite
catch.
Further conversation on the subject
was prevented by the sudden appear
ance of Polly Flagg, accompanied by
Joe Whitney, on her way to school,
Polly, who was a special favorite with
Miss Smith, had permission to pick all
the flowers she wanted. So, with a
smile and nod to Tad, she began Gull
ing little bouquet of purple pansies
for Miss Burbank, her teacher; while
Joe, with one hand in his pocket, calm
1y munched huge winter Baldwin,
which he held in the other.
"Have a bite, Mr.. Forrest" asked
Joe, advancing the unbitten side
of the apple, with easy familiarity.

..AlI ripht." reuned Joe. with a wink

.-All right" replied Joe, with a wink
of exquisite meaning directed to Polly,
who shook her head at him warningly,
and, after another attack on the eat
ables, he SAT- in silent meditation
"Got pin, Polly?" he asked, in a
low tone of voice, as he wiped a lnger-
ing crumb or two from his lips with his
coat-sleeve.
what do you want of it?'' suspi-
ciously returned Polly.
"Why-I want itr' was the unsatis-
factory reply.
Here's one, joe" said Mr.. Mason.
with, regret to say, somewhat hui
morous twinkle in his eye.
"Now, Johnr' expostulated his wife,
as Joe, taking it, rose to his feet and
strolled off, :'what made you?-you
knoao that boy is always up to some
kind of mischief"
But Mr.. Mason, who had stretched
himself at ease on the green sward,
with his straw hat over his face,
seemed suddenly to have fallen into
deep sleep, not unprecedented by an
occasional snore; so Mrs. Mason, lean
ing back against tree-trunk, famed
herself languidly, and chatted with
Polly, who was making a ily-wreath
for her shade-hat, while Bounce lay
looking on with lazy interest Tad.
hugging his knees, which were drawn
nearly up to his chin, sat a little dis
lance off, thinking how singular it was
that, in a big world, he should again
have met the owner of the fur cloak,
and wondering what she would say if
she knew the part she had played in
helping him along on his way to Blk
port.
1t was one of those delightful sum-
mer afternoons when one feels disin-
clined to do any thing but dream away
the idle hours. The clear. unruified
surface of Bixport pond reflected the
drifting white clouds overhead, and the
tall, whispering pines which bent over
its margin, as faithfully as some great
mirror. Far off, at the other end,
solitary loon sent out his quivering cry
from time to time, while now and then
the shrill note of the locust cut through
the warmth and stiffness of the air with
mOnOtOnous persistency. The murmer
of Mr.. Forests voice, as that gentle
man, unmindful of Joe's warning, re-
clined gracefully at Miss Bakers feet,
reached Tad's ears.

Baker stared at him aghast, "but 1

brought to an abrupt close by singu-
lar noise, which-a seeming combina-
ton of stifled scream, repressed gasp
and smothered laughter - proceeded
from Joe Whitney, who. with a very
red face and long alder stick, in the
end of which was pin, had suddenly
and silently rejoined Tad and Polly.
"You-you young villainr' wrath
fully calculated Mr.. Forrest, ,as the
truth suddenly flashed across his mind,
and, with this exclamation, he made a
sudden dive in Joe's direction; but the
wary youth, evading his grasp, lodged
under his outstretched arm with a
hilarious war-whoop, and disappeared
among the trees.
MIR. Forrest was very angry, particu-
larly when he discovered that a smear
OF pea-green paint extended from his
forehead downward across his nose to
his cheek, though he made q pretense
of laughing it off as joke.
''Just dip nv handkerchief in the
pond-water, Tad, and wipe this paint
off my face, will you," he said, throw
ing it to Tad, who, taking it in silence,
scrubbed down Mr.. FORESTS face till it
was tolerably clear. But with the paint
was Il chalky substance from over Mr..
Forests right eyebrow, and, too late,
that gentleman clapped his hand to his
forehead, with a slight exclamation.
Tad's sharp eyes detected a small blush
scar on Mr.. Forests temple, that had
been skillfully hidden by touch of
French chalk.
''How are You, JONES'" thought Tad,
with a little twinge of excitement,
which he carefully concealed, handing
back the handkerchief with apparent
Inconsistencies of the sharp glance
given him by the city-bred gentleman,
who clapped on his hat with considers
BILE haste.
Tad then rejoined Polly, who had
risen to her feet, and, after talking a
little with the amused Mr. Mason, the
two made their way slowly homeward
by the shady wood-road that followed
the pond shore for quite distance.

SHEDS FOR SHEEP.

Very Simple Structures Sufficient for ALI
Ordinary Purposes.
1t would seem as if the subject of
shelter for sheep and stock of all kinds
had been so thoroughly discussed that
nothing more need be said upon it.
Unfortunately, however, there are We
some who have not given the matter
the attention that it deserves; and now
suppose every fiockmaster concludes
that he will provide suitable shelter
for the coming winter. 1t will GER
tainly be to his interest to do SO. 1t
will be money in his pocket. With
this opinion all will agree. Then shall
we not all act upon it? Men every
where are trying to make money, by
both honest and dishonest means. The
love of money is the all-consuming
passion. Advice, therefore, as to how
to make money ought to be acceptable
to us all. If you have no suitable
shelter for the sheep, construct one.
That is one way to put money into
the pocket. If it is not desiref
or possible to build a sheep barn
that can be completely closed
when that is desirable, construct SIM
pier shelter. Remember that the great
object to be achieved is not warmth,
but protection from the storm. Sheep
are well protected from the cold, but
against storms they ought to have good
protection. A very simple structure is
a shed open on one side with yard in
front 1t may be covered with straw
OF hay, but better roof than that. and
a more permanent one, is desirable.
Build racks all around the shed. The
structure may have an apartment back
of the racks for the storage of grain,
roots and even hay; or it may have a
story above for that purpose. The
story used by the sheep. of course may
be low, only high enough to permit a
man to go in with reasonable comfort.
1t need not even be high enough for
him to stand perfectly straight, though
it would be more convenient-for him to
be able to do so. If there is storage
room above the floor, it should be tight
enough to prevent the dirt from sitting
down on the sheep. The yard and
ground on which the shed stands
should be thoroughly drained. Neither
the back nor the feet of sheep will
stand the wet, fact that every exper-
fenced sheep raiser and wool grower
knows Western RuraI.
